Batman Death Of The Family: What The Hell Is On The Joker's Tray?

We know it was Gwenyth's head in Seven but what the hell has Joker got in store for us to end Death of the Family?

By Marcus Doidge /

This month sees the penultimate issues of the Scott Snyder's simply incredible Joker event, Death of the Family. With Batman #16 we watch as Batman makes his was into a Joker controlled Arkham Asylum and it provides some of the craziest moments in Joker's history to date. A royal waiting for Batman; some costumed prison guards held at bay through dance and a horse to let Batman know his sneaking around isn't quite working out for him. There's a full on attack on Batman, some incredibly poignant Joker dialogue oh and Batman even punches a horse in the face. The series, that has spread over most of the Bat-family titles has had the Joker claim to know the identities of all of the Batman family and at every turn has had the Clown Prince of Crime two or even five steps ahead of the caped crusader and his flock but this week on the last pages of Batman, Batgirl and Batman and Robin we have had a tantalising tease of how this event might end or indeed what might be the Joker's biggest punchline yet. We're given our first sight of the serving tray that holds Joker's hidden prize as he reveals its contents to Penguin and Two Face and it's enough to shock them enough into following Joker's lead as his plan comes to its climax. To make this feel even bigger the same serving tray 9or is it really the same?) is presented to both Batgirl and Damien at the end of their individual face offs with the Joker and suddenly every bat-loving reader needs to know that the hell is in there. So I put it to you dear Bat- readers. What's on Joker's tray? Alfred's head? Commissioner Gordon's blood soaked glasses? A bit of Tim Drake? (who is yet to see the tray). Is there a different thing under each tray shown to the Bat-Family to make them think something bad has happened and to generate even more madness? We have about a month to find out I guess but all you Bat-fans can work it out before then, right? Leave your ideas below and let's see who manages to get it right before the closing chapters of Death of the Family wrap up. Click next to reveal the 5 Ways Death Of The Family Might End...
